Model: Dell Latitude E6410 CPU/GPU: Intel i5 540M / Intel HD Graphics (Core i5) OS: Windows 7 Enterprise I've been running with this computer for a few years now, picked it up from a previous employer who went under. I've been looking to upgrade to a desktop computer and I've been frugally assembling parts for it over time. I've picked up pieces so far like power supply, optical media, case; stuff that isn't going to be easily obsoleted any time soon. I'm reaching the point where I'm starting to pick up some of the bigger items, and the GPU I'm interested in is the EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR. I'm interested in turning it into an eGPU in the meantime until the rest of the parts are assembled. I've been trying to research the subject, and I know that my current computer only has a series-5 CPU and its ExpressCard slot is limited to x1 unless I link the slot to a mPCIe port. The GPU is a GeForce GTX 760, which I haven't been able to find much information on other than it's apparently difficult to get working due to the 4GB of GDDR5. I already have a power supply, which I believe will work. So, I guess what I'm asking is, is it worth the time and effort to try to make something like this work? Is it even possible? It's not worth it to upgrade my notebook computer to another notebook computer just for the sake of a DIY project, so if I wanted to actually build an eGPU would I be better off just picking up an easier to work with used card off of eBay or something?
